It's a Date ketchup flavoured with tamarind and other spices. It's extremely vinegary and a little spicy from the tamarind and pepper that dominates the rest of the flavour. Pretty much the flavour nuke of british fast food as very few flavours can overpower it. Also quite useful for tempering the fire from English Mustard so that you can enjoy the flavour more.

That sounds delicious! Kind of like a citrus tinged barbecue sauce.

And the sandwich might not be traditional, but it still looks awesome!

It's pretty much the same as A1 but stronger.

Thank you. I didn’t realize British cuisine was so powerful

It’s super good with fatty meat’s especially like sausage. This is an American saying this so idk if that’s what it is properly used for but it’s good

Yeah you are spot on mate. Fatty meats are the perfect pairing for brown sauce

I typically have them with sausage rolls!

Honestly that sounds tastier than the traditional American tomato ketchup. I would love to try the aforementioned condiment fellow human

Look for HP sauce for the standard form

In general the brown sauce is made with all the flavor boiled out of the other food.

...mostly correct? I'm Canadian so not an expert, but Worcestershire sauce is very different from both HP and A1.

Yep, Worcestershire sauce is nearer to Thai fish sauce than it is to any of the other things mentioned there.

Chef is more popular in Ireland. There's also Yorkshire Relish and a couple other brands.

They're all related to Worcestershire sauce, but are not all that similar.

Japanese Tonkatsu Sauce is also very similar and closely related.

[Homemade] Made an Anglicised "Philly Cheesesteak" using melted and unmelted cheddar, brown sauce and english mustard topping the minced beef, all on a baguette as that's what I had.
